A couple of months back, the one 4 yr old granddaughter, DeeDee, caught her very first large fish. The Smerch was kind enough to offer to mount her first trophy. A couple of months later and here is the result. Hopefully the link works.

Thank You so much, Mr Bill

You just have to set a day for yourself every month. Feels so good when you do take the time to unwind.

And den ders da ones dat can reed anyting and udderstand wat they are reedn an sayn.

 

 

Not all are perfect, but they do try to make an effort.

But den you'se comes from da Rock, bye.

Long time no hear, Jacques.

Some fine looking fish there.

Down in Digby they used to have a 25lbr. preserved at the local chamber offices back in the day.

By the way, if you want fresh off the boat, used to get great seafood, and reasonable up in Parker's Cove. A little off the beaten path, but a great scenic drive up and over the ridge.

Too busy watching, and cherishing every minute, as my grandaughters grow up. Far better than any TV show I can think of. I do have music on the go most hours of the day.

Great little out trip and report. Purty sure I recognize a couple of those spots. Pity my body just don't work that well any more for inland canoe treks.

Sounds like another place on "the List". Great report.

My spring was fantastic for numbers of fish caught. I just don't expect a lot during this heat wave and drought.

Sounds like the ideal working arrangement. Great report.

Definitely not a normal specimen for our zones. Could not be sure myself if it was an araucaria or related to an aralia

I use a 1/4 oz bullet a foot ahead of the harness.

We were out last night from 8:30pm to 1:30am dragging black harnesses through the weeds. We got a few out on the river we were fishing.

THICK AS A BRICK

I am sure you are right in your choice. "In life we but turn another page".

1/2 mph? How do you get the spinners to work going that slow? I find any slower than 1mph they dont work properly.

 

I generally run 1.2- 1.8 depending on how active they are. I can make them work as slow as .8 or so, but on turns they stop spinning. They will still hit with the blades not turning, but its not as edfective.

 

S.

Seem to spin just fine, but the spinner is only 1/2 of the story with the harnesses we manufacture.

Now that makes for a great trip and report. Thanks for posting your adventure. I hope to have a road trip lined up next year.

The son and I are doing OK with pike and walleye the past few weekends. We slow troll harnesses at 1/2mph or slower.

Celebrated, as always, fishing with the clan.

Ouch! With any luck, the fish will be cleaned by the time you get home!

Not a chance. Had me a 4 hour nap, cleaned the fish and ran out to the farm for the day.

Nothing brats family time together. Great report.

I know Mike himself hasn't been on here in months due to too much negative feedback and honestly I don't blame the guy. He's given a lot to this board over the years and I get where he's coming from.

Guess I was away when the crap was happening. A pity too. I loved reading "the adventures of Solopaddler". Can't blame Mike for backing away.

P.S Great report.

Nice looking fish. Past couple of days have been just gorgeous

Hard core earlly birds. Nice.

 

Been hearing the bite was slow,but you guys seemed to have got into them. Nice.

 

How do you compare the silvers to other fish, as for eating Bruce?

Temperate bases definitely have a different taste. Somewhat stronger than perch/walleye. Key to mellowing out the flavour is the same for cats. Bleed them, cut out the blood line, soak in milk.

The bite was not super fantastic, but the fish were there. Even better, no white perch, and all bigger fish.
